Resources

The department receives many requests to list resources on the Financial Aid & Scholarship Department website. The department must keep the website as student friendly, clean and accurate as possible, so the following questions will be reviewed in considering such requests.

Is the resource directly related to the business of our department?

Will the resource benefit prospective or current students?

Is the request coming from a federal or state agency related to financial aid, scholarships and/or financial literacy?

Is the request from the CSU Chancellor's Office or a CSUN campus department, and does it directly relate to the business of this department?

Does the resource appear to be a means to gather information from students for commercial purposes?

Does the resource offer duplicative information or an extraneous service?

If you need help filing your tax return, check out the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) program at CSUN. If you plan to prepare your own tax return, take a look at comparison reviews of online tax software before you begin the process.

Take a look at specialized programs aimed at erasing student loans after graduation. If you're willing work in a certain area as a teacher or nurse, you may have a chance of kissing those loans goodbye.
